How about...
- Peter has been working on namazu for quite some time now,
I'm sure he'd hate that to be for nothing.
- Peter has offered to maintain it for us. That's zero burden
for you, Adrian.
- The SPAM issues that Steve T raised.
- Updating the normal content of the web sites (and mirrors)
isn't a problem and this wouldn't be any different. Surely
the main site would get indexed and it would automatically
filter down to the other sites. And if it doesn't, I'm sure
that Peter can overcome this.
- Why out-source when we have somebody ready willing and able
to do it in-house.
Adrian, please don't sign us up with Google (at least not yet). Lets
do it the other way around...
Let Peter run with namazu. If it turns out to be more trouble than
it's worth we can re-visit the Google idea then.
